Generative Site Model

This model represents the old and new of my site. The North End is full of character, both historic and present day. I chose to model the old landscape with a brown chip board mounted onto white foam board. The contrast makes it easy to read the many ports and harbors that used to exist. The gray matboard represents the current landscape of the North End area. By placing it on the chipboard it clearly shows the change of the waterfront. There are less ports and the land has also been altered due to the weather conditions and tides. The neighborhood blocks from the past are cut out while the present day blocks are raised up above the matboard.
